Testimonials:

THE CUSTOMER

Oliver is a fleet manager at Fleet Hub, based in Weiden in der Oberpfalz. The company sells cars to B2B customers. He is responsible for processes and the associated quality. They mainly receive passenger cars and vans from customers in Germany, but soon from other European countries as well.

THE CHALLENGE

“We would like to work completely digitally so the processes can run automatically. That’s why we’re looking for digital partners who are market leaders in their field,” Oliver says. “We also tested other competitors, all of whom certainly have their justification, but OPENLANE is the ideal partner for us.”

“THANKS TO OPENLANE, SELLING IS GREATLY SIMPLIFIED.”

WHY OPENLANE

01. A hassle-free sales process

For Oliver and Fleet Hub, the biggest advantage is that OPENLANE makes sure everything runs smoothly. “We don’t have to go through cumbersome steps in the administration program to create new debtors etc., and we don’t have to worry about transporting the vehicles.”

02. Efficiency is key

Before Oliver worked with OPENLANE, the way of working was a bit more complicated: “Vehicles sometimes stood in the yard for a long time before they were picked up, payments were not made, … OPENLANE takes away a lot of worries.”

03. Everything is digital

“Selling is greatly simplified,” Oliver says. “We can upload photos and add our asking price. There’s a high level of transparency, which also makes sure we can offer our customers a more convenient way of working.”

THE RESULT

Oliver is more than happy with OPENLANE’s services. “The question of whether we would like to work with OPENLANE is irrelevant. We definitely want that.” Are you curious to what OPENLANE can mean for your company? Contact one of our sales executives and ask for a FREE consult.

“THE QUESTION OF WHETHER WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH OPENLANE IS IRRELEVANT. WE DEFINITELY WANT THAT.”

THE CUSTOMER

Sinan is the managing director at Wiesbach Automobile, based in Bessenbach, near Aschaffenburg. The company sells cars in the B2B sector.

THE CHALLENGE

Wiesbach Automobile’s customers are located in Germany as well as abroad. OPENLANE’s international network and local presence in different selling countries makes it easier to reach them all. Moreover, OPENLANE has made the selling process a lot more efficient.

“SELLING VEHICLES HAS BECOME EASIER AND THE MONEY IS IN OUR ACCOUNT THE VERY NEXT DAY.”

WHY OPENLANE

01. Efficiency is key

“Our expectations of finding a partner through whom we could sell reliably were more than fulfilled. Everything runs smoothly”, Sinan says. “Before, we sometimes had to wait for contract signatures or for the money receipts to arrive. These problems are over. Selling vehicles has become easier and the money is in our account the very next day.”

02. One partner to work with

“It’s a great advantage for us that we have a reliable partner who also takes care of the transport of the sold vehicles,” Sinan says. “A few days after the sale, they come and collect the vehicles. This way we can have new vehicles delivered quickly. For us, inventory, turnover, margin and time gain have developed well. We don’t have to worry about the vendor customer base, we have OPENLANE for that.”

THE RESULT

For Sinan, it’s clear that his company will continue to work with OPENLANE. “After all, this cooperation is very pleasant.” Are you curious to what OPENLANE can mean for your company? Contact one of our sales executives and ask for a FREE consult.

“IT IS CLEAR THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OPENLANE.”

THE CUSTOMER

Christophe is a fleet supervisor at BESIX, a leading player in the construction and property sector. The company has about 150 utilitarian vehicles in its fleet. Most are brands and models that maintain their value, such as the Volkswagen Crafter, Transporter and Caddy. A few years ago, Christophe’s manager asked him to contact OPENLANE. After learning about the procedure and service, he was immediately hooked.

THE CHALLENGE

“In a company like ours, speed and efficiency are crucial,” Christophe says. “OPENLANE knows how to respond to this perfectly, collection and payment included. We’ve been relying on them for some years now and can always count on rapid, simple sales and the best prices.”

“THE EMPLOYEES BEHIND THE ONLINE PLATFORM KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING AND TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.”

WHY OPENLANE

01. One dedicated contact person

Christophe is full of praise for his account manager at OPENLANE: “Peter is open and easy to reach. He’s the human face of OPENLANE. The employees behind the online platform know what they’re doing and take care of everything.”

02. A hassle-free sales process

According to Christophe, one of OPENLANE’s greatest strengths is their smooth and fast service: “Within a few days of our request, they send us a detailed valuation. Barely a working day later, the auction starts. Quicker than that is virtually impossible.”

03. An international network

Thanks to OPENLANE, buyers and sellers of vehicles can easily find each other: “The online auctions are easy to use, which saves us time and excessive bureaucracy. Another advantage is that the international buyer network makes it easy to find a customer prepared to pay the best possible price.”

THE RESULT

Christophe is more than happy with OPENLANE’s services. “Their greatest qualities? Fair prices, smooth service and reliable working methods – virtually unique in this sector. Their ‘no sale, no fee’ guarantee is another nice bonus, although we haven’t needed it up to now. OPENLANE has been gloriously successful with every assignment.

THE CUSTOMER

As Fleet and Insurance Agent, our client is responsible for the fleet of an independent, non-governmental, non-profit international development organisation. And that fleet is anything but small.

THE CHALLENGE

“We have almost 50 branches all over the country, which in itself is quite a challenge for me as a fleet manager. Moreover, our fleet consists of both passenger cars, vans and agricultural vehicles.” “I have been working with OPENLANE for a few years now. In the beginning, I was sceptical when they offered to sell our used vehicles. But that was unjustified. Everything went smoothly right away and they make my job easier.”

“OPENLANE HANDLES A SALE IN NO TIME, FROM PAYMENT TO COLLECTION. FAST TOP SERVICE!”

WHY OPENLANE

01. Stress-free cooperation

As a fleet and insurance agent, our client is the contact person for all branches when it comes to vehicle sales. “Thanks to OPENLANE, I have little to do with sales myself. I put the branches in touch with our permanent contact at OPENLANE. This person then provides me with an offer to buy the vehicle and I don’t have to worry about anything else.”

02. Rapid processing

Our customer finds it a great advantage that OPENLANE handles a sale quickly: “As soon as I approve an offer, OPENLANE transfers the money. Once we confirm receipt of the money, a transporter comes to pick up the vehicle in no time. Fast top service!” Permanent contact person “Both I and my colleagues at our branches have a good contact with our permanent contact person. “That works just fine, creates trust and makes every sale happen in a personal way.”

03. An international network

Thanks to OPENLANE, buyers and sellers of vehicles can easily find each other: “The online auctions are easy to use, which saves us time and excessive bureaucracy. Another advantage is that the international buyer network makes it easy to find a customer prepared to pay the best possible price.”

THE RESULT

For her, the absolute added value of the cooperation lies in the bond of trust: “Recently, a competitor of OPENLANE called me, but I let it be known that I was not interested. For us, OPENLANE is the most reliable partner for the sale of our used vehicles. We therefore continue to enjoy working with them.” Are you curious to what OPENLANE can mean for your company?

“FOR US, OPENLANE IS THE MOST RELIABLE PARTNER FOR THE SALE OF OUR USED VEHICLES.”

THE CUSTOMER

Martin Walsdorf is the managing director of German car dealer PEWE in Düsseldorf. “We have been around for 33 years and we have a nice network in Germany as well as throughout Europe, thanks to OPENLANE,” Martin beams. The cars they sell are up to four years old and come from German and European leasing companies.

THE CHALLENGE

“Since we work both b2b and b2c and have both domestic and foreign customers, it is very important for us to simplify sales as much as possible,” Martin says. “We have been working with OPENLANE for about 12 years now, and for us that is where their strength lies: they streamline and simplify our sales.”

“THANKS TO OPENLANE, WE ARE EXPERIENCING AN ANNUAL SALES INCREASE OF 10 TO 15 PER CENT.”

WHY OPENLANE

01. More sales abroad

Martin finds that PEWE has more international customers thanks to OPENLANE: “Because OPENLANE also has customers abroad, our partnership allows us to sell vehicles to end customers we would never reach otherwise. Since they have been our partner, we have seen a significant increase in our sales.”

02. Streamlined and user-friendly

When selling online, everything hinges on the platform you use. And as a seller, you naturally want only one thing: for everything to be simple and sell smoothly. “OPENLANE’s platform is very streamlined and user-friendly. All we have to do is enter our vehicles in the back office with a description. Done. After a few clicks, our auctions are running,” Martin smiles.

03. Friendly staff

For Martin, the warm staff is also an absolute plus: “We have been working with OPENLANE for 12 years now and find that all their staff are friendly and customer-oriented. That, of course, makes the cooperation extra nice. OPENLANE’s staff do everything they can to help you as quickly and well as possible.”

THE RESULT

Ultimately, every business revolves around numbers. And they don’t lie, according to Martin: “With an annual increase in turnover of 10 to 15 percent, it goes without saying that we are happy to continue our collaboration with OPENLANE.” Are you curious to what OPENLANE can mean for your company?

THE CUSTOMER

George Dementiev is the managing director of KGA Motors in Genk. He is responsible for buying and selling cars. His focus: BMWs. George has been working with OPENLANE for many years. At the time with his former employer, now as a self-employed person. “I was very satisfied with the cooperation from the start. When I set up my own business in 2019, it was an obvious choice for me to knock on OPENLANE’s door again.”

THE CHALLENGE

“As a business manager, you have a thousand things on your mind every day. The smoother the processes, the better I can run my business,” says George. “Working with OPENLANE is simple. No complex procedures or rules. I inspect the cars, take photos of them and then send them to OPENLANE. They always make sure the car is put up for sale quickly.”

“I OWE 90 PER CENT OF MY SALES TO MY PARTNERSHIP WITH OPENLANE.”

WHY OPENLANE

01. Warm contacts

It is important to George that he can hand over work in complete confidence: “OPENLANE is a stable company with which I have good communication. My contact person has been the same for several years,” he smiles. “The rapport is good and I know I can trust him.”

02. Choosing certainty

“I like certainty. That’s why I prefer to sell through the ‘Buy Now’ auctions. The advantage? I choose my own price and then know for sure that when I sell, I will receive that exact amount.” But George also cites another kind of security: “With OPENLANE, there are never any payment problems. After a sale, the money is always in the account quickly.”

03. Indispensable partner

Perhaps the main reason why George is a loyal customer: “I owe 90 per cent of my sales to this cooperation. OPENLANE is a partner I couldn’t live without.”

THE RESULT

Thanks to OPENLANE, George sees his business grow every year. Every entrepreneur’s dream, of course. “Last year I sold more than 500 cars through OPENLANE. I see that number increasing every year. So my partnership with OPENLANE ensures that my business continues to grow.” Are you curious to what OPENLANE can mean for your company?

THE CUSTOMER

Our customer works for a well-known German candy manufacturer. Whether he works with OPENLANE to sell sweets? Not really. As a fleet manager, his focus is on passenger cars.

THE CHALLENGE

“As a salesman, you always want to score the best deal. In the past, I worked with other dealers who were slightly cheaper. My experience? They want to push down the price of my vehicles over and over again. “I have been working with OPENLANE for almost five years now and they always make a good offer.”

“OPENLANE is mega-professional, I knew from the beginning that they would become my permanent partner.”

WHY OPENLANE

01. Flawless cooperation

For our customer, the way of working with OPENLANE is an absolute plus: “I don’t remember exactly how I came to OPENLANE. But I do remember that I was immediately amazed by how flawlessly everything runs. OPENLANE is mega-professional. Even then, I knew they would become my permanent partner.”

02. Friendly staff

“Another reason why I enjoy working with OPENLANE so much: all the staff are friendly. That makes my dealings with OPENLANE very pleasant. “I always have the feeling that I am at the centre as a customer.”

03. OPENLANE takes care of everything

“Working with OPENLANE is so simple. We make an on-site valuation of the vehicles and send the list to OPENLANE. Then they make an offer. From then on, we don’t have to worry about anything. Not even about transporting the vehicles, because OPENLANE takes care of that.”

THE RESULT

Whether our client would ever stop working with OPENLANE? “I wouldn’t know why, everything is super. The process is quick and effortless. What’s more, I can arrange everything via email. What a comfort!”
